Evgeny Gasho, the expert of the Analytical Center, commented
on the situation to the web publishing
M24.RU. Saving on heating
largely depends on a school itself, according to the expert. “If a school
is situated on a sunny side, it needs less heating, so it can save money. Some
other school is surrounded by large trees, which negatively affects the
temperature in a building. Heating capacity requirements also are affected
by the number of students.

Every school needs its own treatment. “Sometimes temperature
control systems work successfully, in other cases the wall winterization
is enough. One can save by managing the excessive heating, and everything will
be ok,” said Mr. Gasho.

Schools can save up to a million rubles on the temperature control system,
according to the expert’s estimates. “If a school annually consumes
2,5-million-rubles energy, it can save up to a million rubles by cutthing down
the heat during nighttime and weekends,” said the expert.
